I cant beat him (yet) - at the very start I did not even go into the shrine but was looking around and ran into him instead - right now he's probably killed me as many times as the first boss |

I went for a wander in a poison swamp, got a new sword and levelled it to +4. I also finally beat that Blue Lothric Knight in High Wall. |

Well, beat a boss. About a second later, the bosses delayed attack beat me. On the plus side, it remained beaten. And after I died, I became alive again. On the minus side, as a consequence of things being missed, I spent almost exactly an hour traipsing round the world trying to figure out where I needed to go next. ZOMG Spoiler!

I'm sort of sitting outside what I'm fairly sure is the final boss, not really trying overly hard to beat it. Because it'd be over then. |

Bounced off the chuckle brothers all night. Then ganked the fuckers with the help of a Sun Bro. Then encountered Mr final boss, had a few attempts, keep getting owned by his second phase. |

Post subject: | Re: Dark Souls 3 |
First run, yah, brothers were tricky. Got up to them in my second run, and my roll timing for them went to shit. Final boss is far from the hardest of the game, mind. |
Author: | Pundabaya [ Wed May 11, 2016 9:30 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Dark Souls 3 |
The final boss seems easier than the brothers, tbh. I got the second form down to about a 5th of his health on my first go, got cocky and fucked up a dodge on his 5 hit combo. The one that juggles you so you have to eat the rest of the combo with no chance of escape. I just found brothers annoying. I could do the big one easily except he keeps teleporting out of lock-on, and once the little one comes into play it feels too busy. The homing soul masses in particular suck, and if he uses that a lot you're in trouble. |

Post subject: | Re: Dark Souls 3 |
Yeah, brothers is an interesting fight, but it's not a mechanic that I'd like to see overly regularly. Final boss I find OK, so long as I can take out the start part without it getting all mage some. Bosses of ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

The thing about Dark Souls is that everybody finds different bosses difficult. It depends on playstyle and even RNG. I'm pretty sure I would have died a lot more on Aldrich, except he didn't use the arrow storm attack in the second half of the fight on the attempt I killed him. People have had difficulty with the Deacons... |

People have had difficulty with the Deacons... I had problems with most bosses on my first playthrough. It seems that recreating my DS1 build gives you something really ill-suited to DS3 (I even died to the deacons once.) |

His attacks seem to come out slow. Like he moves his body first then brings his weapon through, catching you after you've dodged. I got him down to around a third health.I was like 'I can do this!' No. No I can't. Yet. |

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! With no Estus and 7hp left. I got some help with him, the Sunbro blew through the first phase with Lightning Spears, then he got himself killed in the second phase. With about 60% of the bosses health left. |

Finally off to a proper start now after ditching my first 'naked' build for a Pyro. Feels like it's been made for fans of the series rather than tempting in new folk as it's so punishing from the start. Nothing beats exploring new turf on low health and getting to the next bonfire. |

Thought I'd have a go at this, as it was only £20 in Tesco. Fucking Cathedral is some tricky shit for a tank character Like a fucking idiot, I didn't trasmonifute the tree souls (I think) into the Bloodborne ring, which I really should have done. |
